(b) Allowed Laytime at Seller’s Facilities shall be 6 hours (including non-Working Days)
for Approved BIOFUEL Tankers with gross volumetric capacity up to and including
twenty fifty-five thousand (25,000) cubic metres. Allowed Laytime increases by one
half (1/2) hour for each additional five thousand (5,000) cubic metres of gross
volumetric capacity. Allowed Laytime shall be extended to include any period of delay
caused by one or more of the following reasons:

(i) reasons attributable to Buyer, to the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker or its master,
crew, owner or operator, including the period of time when the Approved
BIOFUEL Tanker awaits Mooring pursuant to Clause 7.8, to the obtaining of
Authorizations or to a third party outside the reasonable control of the Seller;

(ii) Force Majeure;

(iii) Adverse Weather Conditions;

(iv) Night-time transit restrictions, if applicable;

(v) Unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations at the


Seller’s Facilities necessary for reasons of safety, except to the extent such
unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations is due to
Seller failure to operate and maintain its facilities as a Reasonable and Prudent

(d) Subject to Clauses 7.11(e) and 7.11(f), Used Laytime shall mean the period of time
equal to the number of hours commencing on completion of Mooring of the Approved
BIOFUEL Tanker and ending when loading ends and return lines have been finally
disconnected and an Approved BIOFUEL Tanker, having been cleared by the Seller
for departure, is able to depart other than for reasons attributable to Buyer, the
Approved BIOFUEL Tanker or its master, crew, owner or operator.

(e) Used Laytime shall temporarily cease to accrue in respect of any period where the
Approved BIOFUEL Tanker has temporarily ceased loading (whether it is still Moored,
with or without loading lines connected, or whether it has temporarily departed from
the Mooring) due to the Seller’s Terminal constraints.

- 25 -
(f) Used Laytime shall cease to accrue, without prejudice to liability for Used Laytime that
has already accrued pursuant to Clause 7.11(d), from the earlier to occur of:

(i) receipt by Buyer of a notice from Seller that Seller will not make available such
Cargo pursuant to Clause 7.15(e); or

(ii) receipt by Seller of a notice from Buyer (but prior to the end of the Arrival
Window) that Buyer will not be able to take such Cargo pursuant to Clause
7.14(c).

(g) If any event or circumstance occurs which causes a delay to an Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker in Mooring, loading or departing, or Seller or Buyer reasonably believe that
such a delay may occur, Seller and Buyer shall, without prejudice to Clause 7.11(a),
discuss it in good faith and use reasonable endeavours to minimise or to avoid the delay,
and at the same time shall cooperate with each other in good faith to minimise or to
avoid the occurrence of any similar delay in the future.

7.12 Excess Mooring Occupancy by Buyer

If, for reasons attributable to Buyer or one of its Approved BIOFUEL Tankers, its Approved
BIOFUEL Tanker delays in vacating the Mooring after loading ends and return lines have been
finally disconnected and such Approved BIOFUEL Tanker is cleared by the Seller for
departure, and as a result of the unavailability of the Mooring, Seller are required to make a

Seller, determined in accordance with the daily rates (or pro rata proportion thereof) specified
in Schedule 6.

7.13 Notice of Claims for Delay Costs

(a) Seller shall be discharged and released from all liability under Clause 7.11 or Clause
7.15 unless Buyer submits a Claim in writing pursuant to Clause 7.11 or Clause 7.15
to Seller Nominated Operator, together with supporting documentation substantiating
such Claim, within thirty (30) Days of the date of Completion of Loading of the
relevant Cargo or departure of Buyer’s Approved BIOFUEL Tanker (as the case may
be). Buyer shall invoice Seller for amounts due under Clause 7.11 or Clause 7.15 in
accordance with this Clause 7.13(a) and Seller shall pay such invoice in accordance
with Clause 10.4.

Buyer for amounts due under Clause 7.12 in accordance with this Clause 7.13(b) and
Buyer shall pay such invoice in accordance with Clause 10.4.

7.14 Buyer’s Late Arrival

(a) If a valid NOR has not been issued prior to or during the Arrival Window, Buyer will
be deemed to have elected not to take the Cargo scheduled for such Arrival Window
(“Late Arrival Cargo”), (unless such delay by the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker in
issuing a NOR is attributable to Seller or Force Majeure). In that event, loading of the
Late Arrival Cargo may be refused by Seller without prejudice to Seller other rights
hereunder; provided, however, that if Buyer requests by written notice to Seller prior
to the end of the Reasonable Endeavours Period for such Late Arrival Cargo that
loading of the Late Arrival Cargo be commenced, Seller shall, and shall procure that

- 26 -
the Seller shall, use reasonable endeavours to commence loading of the Late Arrival
Cargo during the Reasonable Endeavours Period, taking into account, inter alia, the
following:

(i) the impact, if any, on Seller ability to load and deliver other cargoes to any
other HVO buyers in a timely manner and the ability of the Parties to agree to
make appropriate modifications in the Annual Delivery Programme or Ninety
Day Schedule; and

(ii) any increased demurrage and other direct costs of whatever nature.

(b) If Seller(acting reasonably in response to a Buyer’s request pursuant to Clause 7.14(a))


determines that Seller may be able to make available a Late Arrival Cargo to Buyer
during the Reasonable Endeavours Period, Seller shall promptly following receipt of
Buyer’s request and appropriate consultation with Seller, deliver to Buyer a notice
setting out Seller estimate of the date and time when Seller will be able to make
available such Late Arrival Cargo. The notice shall further provide Seller good faith
estimate of:

(i) the delays or limitations on Seller ability to procure Completion of Loading of


such Late Arrival Cargo;

(ii) the effect on Seller ability to make available other Cargoes scheduled for
delivery to Buyer and all other HVO buyers during such Contract Year, and

(iii) the direct costs that Seller will incur as a result of making available such Late
Arrival Cargo.

Following receipt of such notice, if Buyer accepts the above conditions and agrees to
indemnify Seller for all such costs incurred, Seller shall make available the Late Arrival
Cargo and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the direct costs set out in such estimate, to
the extent actually incurred.

(c) After Buyer has agreed to indemnify Seller for the direct costs provided for in Clause
7.14(b)(iii), and without affecting any ToP Quantity obligations of Buyer hereunder,
Buyer may, at any time prior to or during the Reasonable Endeavours Period, provide
notice to Seller that Buyer will not be able to take such Late Arrival Cargo. Following
such notice, and without prejudice to any costs already incurred by Seller and to any
costs payable by Buyer pursuant to Clause 7.14(b) in respect of such Late Arrival
Cargo, Buyer shall have no further obligation to pay any such further costs.

7.15 Late Loading

(a) If a valid NOR has been issued prior to or during the Arrival Window, and Seller has
not procured the commencement of loading of the Cargo to the Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker by the later of the end of such Arrival Window, or 6 hours following the NOR
(“Late Loading Cargo”), Seller will be deemed to have elected not to make available
such Late Loading Cargo. In that event, Buyer may depart the Mooring without
prejudice to Buyer’s other rights under this Agreement.

(b) Clause 7.15(a) shall not apply if the delay in commencing loading has been caused by:

(i) reasons attributable to Buyer, the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker or its master or
crew; or

- 27 -
(ii) a Force Majeure event.

(c) If Seller requests, by written notice to Buyer prior to the end of the Arrival Window
that Buyer attempt to take a Late Loading Cargo, prior to the end of the Reasonable
Endeavours Period, and such notice indicates a date and time (based upon Seller
reasonable estimate) on which Seller anticipate being able to procure the issuance of a
notice to proceed to Mooring for such Late Loading Cargo, then Buyer shall use
reasonable endeavours to take such Late Loading Cargo up to the end of the Reasonable
Endeavours Period.

(d) If Buyer (acting reasonably in response to Seller Nominated Operator’s request


pursuant to Clause 7.15(c)) determines that it may be able to take a Late Loading Cargo
during the Reasonable Endeavours Period, Buyer shall, promptly following Seller
Nominated Operator’s request, deliver to Seller a notice setting forth Buyer’s good
faith reasonable estimate of the costs that Buyer will incur as a result of taking such
Late Loading Cargo up to the end of the Reasonable Endeavours Period. Following
receipt of such notice, if Seller accept the costs of Buyer taking such Late Loading
Cargo, Buyer shall take receipt of such Cargo and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the
costs set forth in such notice, to the extent actually incurred.

(e) Without affecting Seller obligations under Clause 5.10(a), Seller may, at any time prior
to or during the Reasonable Endeavours Period provide notice to Buyer that Seller will
not be able to make available such Late Loading Cargo during any such period,
following which notice, Seller shall have no further obligation to pay any further
demurrage in respect of such Late Loading Cargo and Buyer’s Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker may depart Seller’s Facilities without prejudice to Buyer’s rights hereunder.

Buyer pursuant to Clause 8.1(a) of the availability of a lesser quantity. Subject to
Clause 14, Buyer’s obligation to take HVO, or to pay for HVO if not taken, pursuant
to Clause 5.9(a) shall not be prejudiced by Buyer informing Seller that Buyer will take
a lesser quantity pursuant to this Clause 8.1. Whenever Buyer informs Seller’s
Nominated Operator, or Seller become aware, that Buyer will not take a quantity of
HVO to which Buyer is otherwise entitled under the terms of this Agreement or

scheduling, and production matters which are reasonably likely to impact a Party’s
performance of this Agreement and respond to requests made by the other Parties with
respect to operational, scheduling and production matters. On an annual basis, Seller
will deliver to Buyer a forecast for the following year period of an operational
maintenance plan for Seller’s Facilities and inform Buyer of any material changes to
the plan when such changes are made.

8.2 Development of Annual Delivery Programme

(a) No later than 1 August of each Contract Year (and for the first Contract Year, 120 Days
after the Second Window Period Notification), Seller shall, in accordance with the
Scheduling Principles, initiate the process of developing an annual programme for the
following Contract Year (as revised from time to time, the “Annual Delivery
Programme”) by requesting from Buyer a proposed loading schedule for the quantities
which Buyer has agreed to take under Clause 8.1(b) and under the Allocation Rules,
indicating:

(i) proposed Arrival Windows;

(ii) for each Arrival Window, in relation to the Approved BIOFUEL Tankers
expected to be utilised, the name, cargo capacity and estimated departure date
from Seller’s Facilities of such Approved BIOFUEL Tanker and any other
relevant information reasonably required; and

(iii) the extent to which the last Approved BIOFUEL Tanker in the loading pattern
represents a partial delivery for the following Contract Year.

Buyer shall provide the aforesaid information no later than 7 August in each Contract
Year (and for the first Contract Year, 130 Days after the Second Window Period
Notification). In accordance with the Scheduling Principles, Seller shall issue a
proposed Annual Delivery Programme not later than 15 August in each Contract Year
(and for the first Contract Year, 150 Days after the Second Window Period
Notification), which shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, meet the proposed
loading pattern submitted by Buyer pursuant to this Clause 8.2(a) and the proposed
loading patterns submitted by all other Foundation Buyers.

(b) Within the period between 15 and 31 August in each Contract Year (and for the first
Contract Year, by the date 170 Days after the Second Window Period Notification),
Buyer and Seller shall, and Seller shall procure that the other Foundation Buyers shall,
meet in good faith to discuss the proposed Annual Delivery Programme and use

- 29 -
reasonable efforts to agree among Foundation Buyers any proposal to modify the
proposed Annual Delivery Programme. Following such meeting Buyer shall continue
to consult with Seller and each other Foundation Buyer in good faith on modifications
to the proposed Annual Delivery Programme, with a view to Seller issuing a revised
proposed Annual Delivery Programme (hereafter a “provisional Annual Delivery
Programme”) acceptable to all buyers and in accordance with the Scheduling Principles
by 30 September of that Contract Year (and for the first Contract Year, seventy-five
(75) Days after the Second Window Period Notification).

(c) If Buyer, Seller and all other Foundation Buyers fail to meet within the period above
or fail to agree on a final proposed Annual Delivery Programme, Seller shall, in
accordance with the Scheduling Principles, establish by no later than 7 October in each
Contract Year (and for the first Contract Year, by the date ninety (90) Days after the
Second Window Period Notification) the final Annual Delivery Programme for the
upcoming Contract Year in accordance with the Scheduling Principles which shall, to
the extent practicable, accept changes to the Annual Delivery Programme agreed by
any Foundation Buyers impacted by any requested change.

(d) A provisional Annual Delivery Programme issued by Seller pursuant to Clause 8.2(b)
shall be binding on Buyer and, unless and until a revised Annual Delivery Programme
is agreed in the course of a Contract Year, a provisional Annual Delivery Programme
shall be the Annual Delivery Programme for the following Contract Year. Following
issue of a provisional Annual Delivery Programme by Seller’s Nominated Operator,
Buyer shall be entitled to consult with other Foundation Buyers regarding their
respective annual programmes and if, following such consultations, Buyer and one or
more of the other Foundation Buyers agree upon and wish to revise a provisional
Annual Delivery Programme (including, for example, by re-ordering scheduled Arrival
Windows and making consequential amendments to the Estimated Cargo Content of
their respective scheduled liftings), Buyer, other Foundation Buyers and Seller shall
consult with each other in accordance with Clause 8.3 to discuss such revisions with a
view to agreeing such changes as will not materially affect the operational performance
of Seller’s Facilities. If changes are agreed, Seller shall promptly revise the provisional
Annual Delivery Programme and recalculate the AACQ (if modified, including any
amendments required to be made to Round-Up,Quantities and Round-Down
Quantities, as the case may be), whereupon such revised Annual Delivery Programme
shall replace the provisional Annual Delivery Programme and be final and binding
upon Buyer.

(e) Each Annual Delivery Programme shall:

(i) to the extent reasonably practicable, treat Buyer and other Foundation Buyers
on a non-discriminatory basis;

(ii) detail the AACQ together with any Round-Up Quantity for such Contract Year,
Round-Up or Round-Down Quantity to be carried forward from the preceding
Contract Year; any Scheduled Maintenance Quantity; any Buyer Downward
Flexibility Quantity; any Seller’s Downward Flexibility Quantity;

(iii) detail, for each Cargo, the gross and net cargo containment capacity, in cubic
meters, its Estimated Cargo Content, the Arrival Window requirements (if
any), together with details of the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker to be utilised
and all information required under Clause 8.2(a)(ii); and

(iv) detail scheduled maintenance and/or shutdown periods for Seller’s Facilities.

- 30 -
(f) Unless Buyer and Seller shall agree otherwise, any Annual Delivery Programme issued
by Seller shall provide for deliveries that are to the maximum extent possible at evenly
spaced intervals throughout the Contract Year (except with respect to periods of
maintenance for Seller’s Facilities) on the basis of Buyer’s AACQ throughout the
Contract Year.

(g) Buyer shall only be required to take HVO in full cargo lots.

8.3 Changes to Annual Delivery Programme

(a) Seller or Buyer may request a change in an Annual Delivery Programme, including any
Ninety Day Schedule issued in accordance therewith, by giving notice to the other of
any proposed change and the reasons therefor.

(b) As soon as possible after notice has been received, the Parties shall consult with one
another in order to examine whether such Annual Delivery Programme can be revised
to accommodate such proposed changes in light of the following:

(i) where an adjustment to an Arrival Window or relevant Ninety Day Schedule


or substitution for an Approved BIOFUEL Tanker reflected in a Ninety Day
Schedule is requested by Buyer for any operational reason, Seller shall use
reasonable endeavours to accommodate such requested adjustment, taking into
account Seller obligation to maintain as far as practicable the deliveries
forecast in the Annual Delivery Programme and current Ninety Day Schedule
in respect of Buyer and any Other Buyer, provided however, Seller shall not
be required to accommodate such request if Seller determines that doing so
would:

(A) materially disrupt the current Ninety Day Schedule;

(B) materially affect the arrival periods assigned to sales of HVO to any
Foundation Buyer or Other Buyer; or

(C) with respect to the remaining portion of the Contract Year, conflict
with Clause 8.2(e) as applicable.

Seller shall accommodate Buyer’s request for the substitution of a scheduled


Approved BIOFUEL Tanker if the substitute Approved BIOFUEL Tanker has
a comparable specification and meets the requirements of this Agreement
(including the specifications in Schedule 2.

(ii) where an adjustment to an Arrival Window or Ninety Day Schedule is


requested by Seller for any operational reason in respect of Seller's Facilities,
Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to accommodate such requested
adjustment, provided however, Buyer shall not be required to accommodate
such request (save where such operational reason arises due to Seller Force
Majeure, in which case Buyer shall accommodate such request) if Buyer
determines that Buyer does not have available shipping capacity, or doing so
would:

(A) materially disrupt the current Ninety Day Schedule;

(B) materially affect the unloading windows assigned to Buyer for firm
delivery to its planned receiving terminals;

- 31 -
(C) materially affect Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ ability to meet their sales or
delivery obligations to purchasers of HVO, or

(D) with respect to the remaining portion of the Contract Year, conflict
with Clause 8.2(e); and

(iii) where an adjustment to an Arrival Window or Ninety Day Schedule is


requested by Seller as a result of a request from any Other Buyer, Buyer may
refuse or accept Seller’s Nominated Operator’s request at its sole discretion.

(c) Any change to the Annual Delivery Programme shall be without prejudice to the rights
and obligations of the Parties pursuant to Clause 5.

(d) Upon a change to the Arrival Window for a Cargo in accordance with this Clause 8.3,
the Annual Delivery Programme and applicable Ninety Day Schedule shall be amended
accordingly and an updated Annual Delivery Programme and Ninety Day Schedule
shall promptly be provided by Seller to Buyer.

(e) If, as a result of any agreed delay in delivery of a Cargo in accordance with Clauses
7.14 or 7.15, respectively, Seller or Buyer reasonably determines and provides notice
to the other that such delay makes it necessary to adjust the Annual Delivery
Programme or a Ninety Day Schedule to reflect the impact of such event on the delivery
of future Cargoes (taking into account any other such prior late deliveries), then the
Annual Delivery Programme or a Ninety Day Schedule shall be adjusted as reasonably
required to reflect accurately the Parties’ abilities to perform their respective
obligations hereunder.

(f) Seller and Buyer shall endeavour to co-operate with each other to minimise schedule
disruptions and avoid unnecessary costs.

8.4 Ninety Day Schedule

(a) Not later than the fifteenth (15th) Day of each month in each Contract Year, Seller shall,
after discussion with Buyer and taking into account any updated information
exchanged by the Parties, confirm to Buyer the forward schedule (“Ninety Day
Schedule”) for the ninety (90) Day period commencing on the first (1st) Day of the
following month for all deliveries of Cargoes during such period. The Ninety Day
Schedule shall be consistent with the Annual Delivery Programme issued by Seller
pursuant to Clause 8.2(a), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or permitted pursuant
to Clause 8.3, and shall set forth for each Cargo:

(i) the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker scheduled to load such Cargo;

(ii) the quantities of HVO (in cubic meters) to be made available at the Delivery
Point for such Cargo;

to the Annual Delivery Programme or Ninety Day Schedule pursuant to Clause 8.3(b),
Buyer may substitute the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker set forth in the Ninety Day
Schedule for another Approved BIOFUEL Tanker upon giving reasonable notice of
such intent to Seller’s Nominated Operator.

(b) If Buyer makes available an Approved BIOFUEL Tanker other than the Approved
BIOFUEL Tanker indicated in the applicable Ninety Day Schedule, Seller shall make
available BIOFUEL, subject to the following:

(i) if the substitute Approved BIOFUEL Tanker is capable of loading an


Estimated Cargo Content that is greater than the Estimated Cargo Content
capable of being loaded by the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker scheduled in the
applicable Ninety Day Schedule, Seller shall only be obliged to make available
BIOFUEL equal to the Estimated Cargo Content capable of being loaded by
the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker scheduled in the relevant Ninety Day
Schedule; or

(ii) if the substitute Approved BIOFUEL Tanker is capable of loading an


Estimated Cargo Content that is less than the Estimated Cargo Content capable
of being loaded by the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker scheduled in the relevant
Ninety Day Schedule, Seller shall be deemed to have made available the entire
Cargo, Buyer shall be deemed to not have taken the portion of the Cargo not
capable of being loaded by such substitute Approved BIOFUEL Tanker and
Buyer shall be liable to Seller in accordance with Clause 5.9(a) for any part of
the Cargo not taken.

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Cervantia National Balancing Point Recycled
Raw Materials Futures contract for the front month as published for each day
during the relevant month on the ICE website, each such settlement price
converted in Euro/litre by dividing by 10 and multiplying by GBPEUR

GBPEUR = the arithmetic average of the spot Euro against Sterling exchange
rates as published by the Bank of Cervantia at 16:00 GMT on every working
day of the Calculation Period. These spot exchange rates are also reported the
following working day on the Bank of Cervantia and website
'www.bankofcervantia.co.cer' in the section Statistics, Interactive Data Base;
Statistical Interactive Database - daily spot exchange rates against Sterling.

(ii) 55% of the HVO Price shall be calculated using the formula:

9.6% of Brent
Brent = means the unweighted average for the six (6) month period
immediately preceding the relevant calendar quarter (starting on the first day
of January, April, July and October) of the monthly average prices of the
“Brent Spot” expressed in US Dollars per barrel for the ARA Market as
published by World Crude Table in Platt’s Oilgram Price Report under the

(A) the Cargo ToP Quantity;

(B) the HVO Price applicable for such Cargo; and

(C) the amount payable by Buyer in respect of such Cargo ToP Quantity
pursuant to Clause 5.9(b);

Promptly following receipt of the information set out in Clause 10.3(a), each
Seller shall send to Buyer an invoice for its Participating Interest share of the
amount payable, provided however that if Buyer takes such Cargo after the
expiration of the Arrival Window in accordance with Clause 7.14, then such
invoices shall be void and each Seller shall issue a replacement invoice in
accordance with Clause 10.1; and

- 35 -
(ii) the procedure set forth in Clause 10.4 for settlement of any invoice shall be
followed.

(b) In respect of any Shortfall Payment:

(i) With respect to any Shortfall Quantity, Buyer shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable following the end of the Arrival Window for the relevant Cargo,
send to Seller separate invoices addressed to each Seller showing:

(A) the Shortfall Quantity;

(B) the costs incurred by the Buyer relevant to the calculation of the
Shortfall Payment together with relevant documents supporting the
calculation; and

(C) the amount payable by each Seller in respect of such Shortfall Payment
pursuant to Clause 5.10(c),

provided, however, that if Seller make available such Cargo after the expiration
of the Arrival Window in accordance with Clause 7.15 and such Cargo is taken
by Buyer, then such invoice shall be void and each Seller shall issue an invoice

under this Agreement.

- 36 -
10.5 Disputed Invoice

(a) Absent manifest error, each Party invoiced in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall pay all amounts stated as being due under such invoice. If Seller and
Buyer disagree on the correct amount owing under an invoice, Seller or Buyer, as the
case may be, shall make provisional payment of the full amount invoiced and shall
immediately notify the other of the reasons for such disagreement. In the case of
manifest error, the correct amount shall be paid disregarding such error, and any
necessary correction and consequent adjustment to the original invoice within five (5)
Working Days after agreement or determination of the correct amount.

(b) The Party who invoiced and received payment of a sum, subsequently determined not
to have been payable hereunder to such Party shall pay interest to the other Party on
such amount, at a rate per annum equal to 4% above Euribor (as in effect on the Day
when such sum was originally paid) on and from the Day when such sum was originally
paid until the date of its repayment, provided that, without prejudice to the other terms
of this Agreement, if such period lasts longer than ninety (90) Days, the applicable
EURIBOR rate for each successive term of ninety (90) Days during that period shall
be that in effect on the first Day of that ninety (90) Day period.

together with supporting documentation. If notice is not given within that period, the
invoice is deemed to be correct and shall be accepted by all Parties for all purposes.

10.6 Delay in Payment

(a) If Seller or Buyer fail to make payment of any sum as and when due hereunder, it shall
pay interest thereon to the other Party at a rate per annum equal to 4% above EURIBOR
(as in effect on the Day when such sum was originally due) on and from the Day when
payment was due until the date of payment, provided that, without prejudice to the
other terms of this Agreement, if such period lasts longer than ninety (90) Days, the
applicable EURIBOR rate for each successive term of ninety (90) Days during that
period shall be that in effect on the first Day of that ninety (90) Day period.

(b) Interest shall accrue from Day to Day.

(c) Taking into account the time zones and Working Days applicable in the countries in
which Buyer’s and Seller’s Nominated Operator’s banks are located, transfers of funds
effected before the close of business on or before the due date of any invoice, shall be
deemed timely payment, notwithstanding that the receiving bank may not have been
able to credit such transfer as immediately available funds by reason of such different
time zones or Working Days.

10.7 Audit right

(a) Upon giving at least thirty (30) Days’ notice, Seller and Buyer shall have the right to
carry out an audit or review of any invoice issued during the eighteen (18) month period
preceding such notice unless such invoice contains information relating to an
unresolved bona fide dispute. Reasonable endeavours shall be used to ensure that any

- 37 -
such audit or review is carried out in a manner which, to the extent reasonably
practicable, minimises any disruption which may be caused thereby to the other.

(b) On request, twenty (20) Days prior to the commencement of any audit or review, the
Party being audited will provide in electronic format, or hard copy documents if
electronic format is not available, documentation and information requested as part of

12. QUALITY

12.1 Specification

(a) HVO delivered at the Delivery Point during the Supply Period shall conform to the
specifications set forth in Schedule 7 (“HVO Specifications”), as determined in
accordance with Clause 13 and Schedule 4.

(b) If HVO does not meet the HVO Specifications upon loading at the Seller Facilities,
such HVO shall be deemed to be “Off-Spec HVO”.

(c) Seller shall provide to Buyer and the independent surveyor appointed pursuant to
Clause 13.9(c), the HVO quality specifications of the Cargo to be loaded onto an
Approved BIOFUEL Tanker:

(i) prior to commencement of the Arrival Window for such Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker, by means of sampling the storage tank holding such quantities of
HVO;

(ii) prior to Mooring of the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker; and

(iii) at Completion of Loading.

Upon Completion of Loading, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of the
certificate of loading, which describes and details the quality specifications for such
HVO, as determined in accordance with Clause 13 and Schedule 4.

12.2 Off-Specification HVO

(a) If, prior to the commencement of loading of a Cargo at the Seller’s Facility during the
Supply Period, Seller reasonably determines that any Cargo will be Off-Spec HVO,
Seller shall, as soon as practicable, but in no case later than twenty-four (24) hours after
making such determination, send notice to Buyer (“Off-Spec Notice”) of the extent of
the variance, in which case Seller and Buyer shall discuss such variances and possible
mitigating actions. Any HVO which is the subject of an Off-Spec Notice shall be
deemed to be Off-Spec HVO.

(b) If Buyer reasonably believes that a Cargo scheduled for delivery to Buyer during the
Supply Period may be Off-Spec HVO, Buyer shall identify such Cargo in a notice to
Seller’s Nominated Operator. Seller’s Nominated Operator, upon receipt of any such
notice, shall make reasonable inquiry into the expected quality of the Cargo identified
in Buyer’s notice and shall reply to Buyer’s notice within twenty-four (24) hours.

(c) Promptly, but in no case later the second (2nd) Working Day following Buyer’s receipt
of any Off-Spec Notice, Buyer shall send notice to Seller (“Buyer Receipt Notice”)
that either:

(i) Buyer will take delivery of the Off-Spec HVO subject to Seller agreement to
pay Buyer’s Acceptance Costs in accordance with Clause 12.2(d); or

(ii) Buyer rejects the Cargo containing such Off-Spec HVO

provided that in choosing whichever option above, Buyer shall use reasonable
endeavours to elect to take delivery of the Off-Spec HVO pursuant to Clause 12.2(c)(i).

- 39 -
(d) If Buyer agrees to take delivery of Off-Spec HVO pursuant to Clause 12.2(c)(i), Buyer
shall notify Seller in the Buyer Receipt Notice of its good faith reasonable estimate of
related Acceptance Costs. “Acceptance Costs” shall be the actual documented costs
related to the acceptance of the Off-Spec HVO comprising the incremental net costs
borne or reasonably incurred by Buyer in relation to the receipt and treatment of the
Off-Spec HVO, including but not limited to, increased shipping costs. If Seller notifies
Buyer that Seller will accept such Acceptance Costs, Buyer shall take receipt of such
Off-Spec HVO and Seller shall, subject to Clause 16.1, reimburse Buyer for all
Acceptance Costs actually incurred, provided that such Acceptance Costs do not
exceed the Buyer’s estimate made pursuant to this Clause 12.2(d). The price payable
for Off-Spec HVO delivered under this Clause 12.2(d) shall be the price determined
pursuant to the provisions of Clause 9.

(e) If:

(i) Buyer, in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 12, refuses to take
delivery of any Off-Spec HVO; or

(ii) Seller fails to notify Buyer that Seller will accept the Acceptance Costs
identified in the Buyer Receipt Notice within twenty-four (24) hours following
Seller’s Nominated Operator’s receipt of the Buyer Receipt Notice,

then Seller shall be deemed to have failed to make available such HVO and the
provisions of Clause 5.10(c) shall apply. If Seller incurs a Shortfall Payment in respect
of any Off-Spec HVO, Seller shall have the right to dispose of such HVO at their own
discretion without additional compensation to Buyer.

(f) If Buyer becomes aware of the existence of Off-Spec HVO in a Cargo after the
commencement of loading at the Seller’s Facilities during the Supply Period, Buyer
shall use reasonable endeavours to accept such Off-Spec HVO. Under such
circumstances, if Buyer, using reasonable endeavours, determines that it is not able to
continue to load such Off-Spec HVO, Buyer may suspend loading of and reject such
Cargo; provided, however, that if it is not safe for the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker to
stop or not complete loading of such Cargo, Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to
complete loading of such Cargo. With respect to any Off-Spec HVO that Buyer takes
receipt of in accordance with this Clause 12.2(f), Buyer may elect, within five (5) Days
of suspension of loading, either to:

(i) pay for such HVO pursuant to Clause 9; or

(ii) dispose of such Off-Spec HVO (or Recycled Raw Materials produced
therefrom) in a commercially reasonable manner (as determined by Buyer) and
remit to Seller in accordance with Clause 10.4, the full amount of any proceeds
received from the disposal of such HVO, in which case Seller shall be deemed
to have not made available the scheduled Cargo, and the provisions of Clause
5.10(b) shall apply,

In addition, in respect of Off-Spec HVO received pursuant to this Clause 12.2(f) (other
than pursuant to Clause 12.2(f)(i)), Seller shall, subject always to Clause 16.1,
indemnify Buyer from all costs and expenses relating to such Off-Spec HVO. Buyer
shall provide any documentation reasonably requested by Seller to support its costs and
expenses.

13. MEASUREMENTS AND TESTS

13.1 Parties to Supply Devices

(a) Buyer shall supply, operate and maintain, or cause to be supplied, operated and
maintained, suitable level gauging devices for the HVO tanks of the Approved
BIOFUEL Tankers, as well as pressure and temperature measuring devices, in
accordance with Clause 13.2 and Schedule 4, and any other measurement, gauging or
testing devices which are incorporated in the structure of such Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker or customarily maintained shipboard.

(b) Seller shall supply, operate and maintain, or cause to be supplied, operated and
maintained, devices required for collecting representative samples and for determining
quality and composition of the delivered HVO, in accordance with Clause 13.2 and
Schedule 4, and any other measurement, gauging or testing devices which are necessary
to perform the measurement and testing required hereunder at the Seller’s Facilities.

13.2 Selection of Devices

Each device provided for in this Clause 13 shall be of a design which has been proven in service
in the biofuel industry, unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer as provided below. Any
devices that are provided for in this Clause 13 not otherwise used in an existing HVO trade
shall be chosen by agreement of Seller and Buyer and shall be, at the time of selection, accurate
and reliable in their practical application. The required degree of accuracy of such devices shall
be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in advance of their use, and such degree of accuracy shall
be verified by an independent surveyor who is agreed upon by Seller and Buyer.

13.3 Units of Measurement and Calibration

Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in the design, selection and acquisition of devices to be used
for measurements and tests at the Seller’s Facilities under this Clause 13 in order that all
measurements and tests may be conducted in the SI system of units, except for the Quantity
Delivered which is expressed in liters.

13.4 Tank Gauge Tables of Approved BIOFUEL Tanker

Buyer shall furnish to Seller, or cause Seller to be furnished, a certified copy of tank gauge
tables as described in Schedule 4 hereto for each BIOFUEL tank of the Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker and of tank gauge tables revised as a result of any recalibration of an BIOFUEL tank of
an Approved BIOFUEL Tanker.

13.5 Gauging and Measuring HVO Volumes Loaded

(a) The HVO volume in the tanks of the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker before loading and
the HVO volume in the tanks of the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker after loading (being
that point in time when the return lines are disconnected) shall be determined by
gauging as provided in Schedule 4 on the basis of the tank gauge tables provided for in
Clause 13.4.

(b) The volume of HVO remaining in the tanks of the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker before
loading shall then be subtracted from the volume after loading (being that point in time
when the return lines are disconnected) and the resulting cumulative volume (in all
tanks) shall be taken as the volume of the HVO delivered to the Approved BIOFUEL
Tanker.

- 41 -
(c) If the primary level gauge and measuring devices of the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker
fail during loading, the volume of HVO delivered shall be determined by the secondary
level gauge and measurement devices. If a Cargo has been safely loaded and both the
primary and secondary gauging and measurement devices have failed, then the quantity
of HVO so loaded shall be determined by averaging all previous loadings of such
Approved BIOFUEL Tanker. If the Approved BIOFUEL Tanker has not loaded at least
one time prior to such event, the Parties shall agree on a method for determining the
quantity of HVO so loaded.

(d) Copies of gauging and measurement records shall be furnished as appropriate by each
of Seller and Buyer to the other. Measurements shall be carved out in accordance with
the terms of Schedule 4 hereto.

13.6 Samples for Quality Analysis

Representative samples of the delivered HVO shall be obtained by Seller as provided in


Schedule 4 hereto.

13.7 Quality Analysis

The samples referred to in Clause 13.6 hereof shall be analysed, or caused to be analysed, by
Seller in accordance with the terms of Schedule 4 hereto in order to determine the molar
fractions of the hydrocarbons and other specified components in the sample.

13.8 HVO Quantity Delivered

The quantity of HVO sold and delivered by Seller in each Cargo (“Quantity Delivered”) shall
be calculated by Seller in accordance with Schedule 4.

13.9 Operating Procedures

(a) For the purposes of the remainder of this Clause 13, references to a “Party” shall be to
Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, and references to “Parties” shall be construed
accordingly.

(b) Prior to carrying out measurements, gauging, verification and analyses hereunder, the
Party responsible for such operations shall notify the designated representative of the
other Party, allowing such representative a reasonable opportunity to be present for all
operations and computations; provided, however, that the absence of such
representative after notification and reasonable opportunity to attend shall not affect
the validity of any operation or computation thereupon performed.

(c) All measurements, gauging, verification and analyses provided for in Clauses 13.5,
13.6, 13.7, 13.8 and 13.10(a) shall be witnessed and verified by an independent
surveyor agreed upon by the Parties, and the costs of such independent surveyor shall
be borne 50/50 between the Seller and Buyer. The independent surveyor shall prepare
reports specifying results of such surveyor‘s verifications, such reports to be made
available promptly to each Party. All records of measurements and the computation
results shall be preserved by the Party responsible for carrying out such measurements
and held available to the other Party for a period of not less than three (3) years after
such measurements and computations have been completed.

- 42 -
13.10 Verification of Accuracy and Correction for Error

(a) Each Party shall test and verify the accuracy of its devices at intervals to be agreed
between the Parties. In the case of gauging devices of the Approved BIOFUEL
Tankers, such tests and verifications shall take place during each scheduled dry-
docking, and otherwise as often as requested by the device manufacturer and/or the
relevant classification society. Each Party shall have the right to inspect the
measurement, gauging and testing devices installed by the other Party; and if a Party
reasonably questions the accuracy of any device, to require the testing or verification
of the accuracy of such device on an exceptional basis prior to the next regularly
scheduled testing/verification interval, provided that in either case the other Party shall
be notified reasonably in advance. Testing shall be performed using methods that are
recommended by the manufacturer or any other method agreed upon by the Parties.

(b) Permissible tolerances of the measurement, gauging and testing devices shall be as
described in Schedule 4 hereto. Where a device fails to operate within the permissible
tolerances, the device shall be adjusted accordingly for subsequent measurement,
gauging, and testing, and recordings and computations made on the basis of those
recordings shall be corrected with respect to any period of error, which is definitely
known or agreed by the Parties. If the period of error is neither known nor agreed,
corrections shall be made for each lifting made during the last half of the period since
the date of the most recent calibration of the inaccurate device.

13.11 Costs and Expenses of Tests and Verifications

(a) Except as provided in Clause 13.11(b), all costs and expenses for testing and verifying
measurement, gauging or testing devices shall be borne by the Party whose devices are
being tested and verified; provided, however, that representatives of the Parties
attending such tests and verifications shall do so at the cost and risk of the Party they
represent. The fees and charges of independent surveyors for verification of
measurements and calculations shall be borne equally by the Parties.

(b) In the event that a Party requests the testing/verification of any of the other Party’s
devices on an exceptional basis as provided in Clause 13.10(a) and such testing does
not demonstrate a failure of such device to comply with the applicable contractual
requirements, the Party requesting the testing/verification shall bear all costs thereof.

(c) Any Dispute under this agreement concerning mainly to testing and verification
measurement, gauging or testing devices shall be referred to an Expert in accordance
with equity and Clause 22.

easement, permit, license, certificate, tariff, consent, authorisation or approval)
or the necessity for compliance with any court order, law, statute, ordinance,
regulation promulgated by a Governmental Authority.

14.2 Seller Force Majeure

(a) Seller shall not be in breach of their obligations under this Agreement or liable for any
delay or failure in performance of any of their obligations under this Agreement, to the
extent that they are affected by Force Majeure (“Seller Force Majeure”).

(b) If Seller fails to make available quantities of HVO because of Seller Force Majeure:

(i) Buyer shall excuse Seller of their obligation to make available HVO pursuant
to Clause 5.10(a); and

- 44 -
(ii) the Parties may agree an extension to the Supply Period in relation to each day
during which such Seller’s Force Majeure affects Seller.

(c) To the extent that Seller performance is excused by Seller Force Majeure, Buyer may
purchase replacement HVO from other suppliers for the period such Force Majeure is
reasonably anticipated to continue, as stated in the most recent notice provided by
Seller pursuant to Clause 14.6. Seller shall give such advance notice to Buyer of the
termination of Seller Force Majeure to enable Buyer to have sufficient time to meet its
reasonable commitments to such other suppliers prior to the recommencement of
deliveries by Seller provided that Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall
resume upon the later of the termination of Seller Force Majeure and the end of the
period of Force Majeure notified by Seller notwithstanding Buyer’s purchase of
replacement HVO from other suppliers pursuant to this Clause 14.2(c).

14.3 Buyer Force Majeure

Seller of the termination of a Buyer Force Majeure to enable Seller to have sufficient
time to meet its reasonable commitments to such other purchasers prior to the
recommencement of Buyer’s ability to take HVO for which it was previously excused
as a result of Buyer Force Majeure provided that Seller obligations under this
Agreement shall resume upon the later of the termination of Buyer Force Majeure and
the end of the period of Force Majeure notified by Buyer notwithstanding Seller sale
of HVO from Seller’s Facilities to Other Buyers pursuant to this Clause 14.3(a).

14.4 Limitations on Force Majeure

(a) The following acts, events or circumstances shall not constitute Force Majeure:

(i) breakdown or failure of Seller’s or Buyer’s equipment (including equipment

the relevant Cargo shall only be available to the extent that Buyer has been unable to
procure an alternative discharge location or an alternative Approved BIOFUEL Tanker
after using all reasonable endeavours to do so.

14.5 Prevention of Payment

(a) If, by reason of a circumstance of Force Majeure, any Party is prevented from making
due payment in the currency or by the method specified in Clause 10.4, then that Party
shall without delay arrange to make payment in any other available currency or by any
other available lawful method which will yield to the receiving Party an amount in
euros corresponding to the amount which that Party would have received if payment
had been made pursuant to Clause 10.4.

ALLOCATION RULES

Any quantities of HVO that the Agreement states shall be allocated in accordance with the Allocation
Rules shall be allocated by Seller as follows:

1. DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANNUAL PROGRAMME

In developing the Annual Delivery Programme for any Contract Year, Seller will allocate
available HVO from Seller Facilities as follows:

1.1 ACQ

Seller shall allocate Allocation Quantities to meet each Foundation Buyer’s annual contract
quantity (taking into account any adjustment(s) to such annual contract quantity in accordance

Foundation Buyers in proportion to each Foundation Buyer’s respective Entitlement
Percentage.

1.2 Make-Up Quantities

After fulfilment of paragraph 1.1 above, Allocation Quantities shall then be offered to each
Foundation Buyer with a make-up entitlement in order of the longest outstanding make-up
quantity first. During development of the Annual Delivery Programme, where an Allocation
Quantity is offered by Seller as a make-up quantity and not accepted by the relevant Foundation
Buyer for scheduling in the Annual Delivery Programme, such quantity (or part thereof not
accepted) shall be offered to the other Foundation Buyers with make-up entitlements in order
of the longest outstanding make-up quantity first. This process is repeated and any such
quantities not accepted by Foundation Buyers pursuant to this paragraph 1.2 shall be included
in the Allocation Quantities available for disposal pursuant to paragraph 1.3 below as Round-
Up Quantities.

1.3 Round-Up Quantities

After fulfilment of paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2 above, Allocation Quantities shall then be allotted to
each Foundation Buyer to meet any Round-Up Quantity for the forthcoming Contract Year, in
order of the smallest Round-Up Quantity to the largest Round-Up Quantity.

2. DURING ANY CONTRACT YEAR

If, during the course of any Contract Year, Seller has additional uncommitted quantities of HVO
available, Seller shall use its reasonable endeavours to offer such uncommitted quantities as
early as possible and shall allocate such Allocation Quantities as follows:

2.1 Scheduling Shortfall Quantities

(a) If, due to operational constraints affecting Seller Facilities, Seller was unable to make
available for inclusion in the Annual Delivery Programme a Foundation Buyer’s annual
contract quantity (a “Scheduling Shortfall”), Seller shall, subject to the provisions
below, offer any Allocation Quantities to each affected Foundation Buyer in order of
the Foundation Buyer with the largest Scheduling Shortfall.

(b) Where the period between Seller Nominated Operator’s offer of an Allocation Quantity
under this paragraph 2.1 and the commencement of the proposed Arrival Window is

- 66 -
thirty (30) Days or more, the offer shall provide a period of seven (7) Days for
acceptance by the Foundation Buyer. If the Allocation Quantity is not accepted within
such seven (7) Day period, then, provided the period between Seller Nominated
Operator’s offer and the commencement of the proposed Arrival Window is still thirty
(30) Days or more, the Foundation Buyer with the next largest Scheduling Shortfall
shall be offered the Allocation Quantity for acceptance within seven (7) Days. This
process is repeated for all affected Foundation Buyers until all Allocation Quantities
have been accepted or paragraph 2.1(c) applies.

(c) Where the period between Seller Nominated Operator’s offer of an Allocation Quantity
under this paragraph 2.1 and the commencement of the proposed Arrival Window is
less than thirty (30) Days, the relevant Allocation Quantity shall be made available by
Seller under the Allocation Rules.
